Name:
Alexander Xaverkas
Age:
1000+
Bio:
Alexander is not mortal, which is only evident if his age is revealed. Otherwise people tend to assume he's simply old fashioned and weird. Then again, that could be because he owns an old fashioned apothecary and the way he dresses. Alexander is one of the Fair Folk of legend, also known as the Sidhe, or, more commonly known as the Faeries. Long ago, over a thousand years, he fell in love with a human girl. It was almost unheard of, and entirely forbidden among his own kind, that a Fae love a human of their own will. However, when Alexander refused to listen to his King and Queen and planned to leave them forever, they took matters into their own hand. The Queen herself ran the girl through with her own blade before Alexander could get to her. He took the girl to a witch by the name of Evanna, but it was too late. However, through a different spell, the witch was able to give the girl a new life through rebirth. Currently Alexander is waiting to find hid love once again.

 Daиιelle ⋯ ReιиhaяdtPlease, call me Danny. █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂ ▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █━━━━━━━━ × ━ × ━ × ━━━━━━━━
Danny walked down the lines of booths of the city fair, her amber eyes watching each closely. Her right hand was closed around her boyfriend Louis' left hand. Her friends had wanted to split off into another group, so she had taken Louis' hand and they had gone off by themselves. He had been chatting her ear off for a minute now, and her mind had drifted elsewhere. It had been thinking about all the many booths with very different people in each. She grinned, her pink bangs fluttering across her eyes. One booth held cotton candy, another a ring toss game. And next to that stand was a juggler. Danny liked it all, but never imagined being able to do any of that. Technology was her thing, it always had been. "... and you know, I could get a lot better quality cotton candy than at this stupid fair. And all these games, huh. Rip-offs." Louis said, his voice now coming back into Danny's attention.
"Huh? Oh, yeah." she said to him, her gaze returning to him after another glance at that juggler, who had now grabbed a few knives. "Danny, you're not even listening. Just like usual..." Louis told her, and he rolled his eyes. Danny frowned, but brought her eyes back to the juggler, who they had now passed, but continued walking. Sometimes, Louis just needed to cool it. That was usually his only problem. Other than that he was a total gentleman. And that's what Danny liked about him, and she had learned to look past his flaws.
They had come up to a tent, and it was a rich red color, with a rug that led inside. A warm light came from within, and Danny stopped to read the sign outside the tent. FORTUNE TELLER, it read, and under it was a list of services, and their price. "Oh, Louis, look! A fortune teller! I wanna have my fortune told. Please?" she said, turning to Louis, a small smile on her face. "This is stupid babe; these fortune tellers are all complete frauds!" "Oh come on, it'll be fun!" she said, pulling Louis with her and walking up to the front curtain, ringing a bell.

  ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Evanna, despite her sudden shock, set to shuffling her cards and had the girl pick 8 out of the deck. She laid them out at random then, in a pattern of 2-3-3. She cleared her throat and flipped them over, looking at the girl. All but one appeared right side up. "Alright. I will begin by naming the cards and telling you their meanings. I will then interpret them and your fortune shall be revealed." She said. She cleared her throat, before touching the first card and beginning: "The Lovers. Harmony and union, choices to be made using intuition and not intellect. Difficult decisions to be made not necessarily about love. Some form of test and consideration about commitments. Abstract thought, internal harmony and union, second sight. Possibly a struggle between two paths. The Fool. Beginnings, most probably of journeys which may be possibly imental, physical or spiritual. The beginning of a new life-cycle. Energy, force, happiness and optimism. The overturning of the status quo or existing states by unexpected happenings. Innocence, naivety, and spontaneity. Important decisions to be made. The Magician. Inverted here, it means confusion, hesitation, inability to make decisive choices. Inability to properly utilise time or talents. Lack of inspiration or energy. Giving up easily, poor self image, poor co-ordination and sometimes learning difficulties. The High Priestess. Intuition, wisdom and secret knowledge, the feminine side of the male personality. Something remains yet to be revealed, but patience must be observed. Duality and mystery. Hidden influences affect both home and work and intuitive insight suggests new solutions. The influence of women. The Chariot. Triumph over adversity, overcoming life's obstacles, decisiveness and ambition in achieving one's goals, well deserved victory. A period of struggle ending in worldly success. Self control, effort, perseverance. Working within the boundaries of one's life to build up a successful existence. Strength. Courage. Self control. The virtue of Fortitude. The power of love. Control of passion against one's baser instincts. Determination. Generosity. Strength and power under control. Energy. Optimism. Generosity, resolve and reconciliation. Death. The beginning of a new life. As a result of underlying circumstances transformation and change. Major changes. The end of a phase in life which has served its purpose. Abrupt and complete change of circumstances, way of life and patterns of behaviour due to past events and actions. Alterations. And finally, The Star. Fresh hope and renewal. Healing of old wounds. Hope. renewal of faith and hope. Spiritual love. A mental and physical broadening of horizons. Promise and fulfillment. inspiration. Influence over others. Vigour and confidence. Protection." Evanna leaned back with a huff, looking them over once more. "All in all, it seems very uplifting. I see a great amount of change in your near future, and they all have the chance to be good. However, you will struggle with some personal decisions and if you make the wrong ones, if you go against what feels right for you, you will never meet the good that could come out of these changes. Judging by The Chariot, The Priestess, and Strength here though, I believe you’ll make the right choices." She said. It was then she leaned forward and took the girls hands in her own. "Please make the right choices. Fortunes don't always refer to the person for whom I'm reading them alone." She said quietly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Um, I think I'm lost." The girl said to him, speaking from the ground up to where he sat in his tree. He smiled slightly and nodded. "Aye, you are quite lost, my dear." He said, his voice like silk. He'd watched this girl closely from the first time she'd stepped into his area of the forest. She'd been in and out of the forest many times before, but this was the sixth time she'd found her way into his territory, and the farthest she'd made it in. The girl was beautiful, for a human. Her hair was the color of peony petals, the moonling making it appear almost white, even in its messy updo. Coupled with bright, lively amber eyes and skin like porcelain, she truly was beautiful. However, that wasn't what inevitably drew Alexander to her. No, her confidence did that. All the times he'd seen her, she walked with purpose as she explored the woods when other girls would not. She showed little to no fear in the darkness, and her courage was fascinating to him. "Well, would you perhaps be able to tell me the way back to the creek at least? I think I can make my way home from there." The girl said, bringing his mind back into focus. He smiled down at her. "Oh, what manner of man would I be to allow a lady to walk through the woods alone?" he said, slipping from his seat to land almost silently on the forest floor. As he landed, he noticed her hand go to her hip, to the hilt of a blade that was barely visible. This made him smile even more. "Although I see you are quite prepared for any opponent you may meet." He shook his head, amused, and offered her his arm. "But you need not worry, I would not harm such a fascinating woman as yourself." He claimed. As she took his arm, he turned them towards where he knew the small human village to be. "If I may ask, what might your name be?" He asked. The scene faded then and came to a different area of the forest, near the edge. The trees were a blur as he ran, a sense of urgency making his heart beat like a trapped bird. "ALEXANDER!!!!" he heard her scream, making him run even faster. He made it through the treeline to see her standing in the doorway of her home. She was even paler than before as she shook, staring at him with wide eyes. "Alexander?" She squeaked, before blood began to spread on her gown rapidly. It was then her knees buckled and she fell. Behind her stood his queen. Titiana turned her cold eyes on him. "You knew it would happen, and her blood is on your hands." His queen spoke. A bright light emanated from her then, growing stronger and stronger, blinding him until-
Alexander awoke with a gasp, his hair wild and his green eyes wide. However, he was not in a forest, he was in his apothecary, and Titiana was not there. No, the only other sentient being in the room with him was a young fox, currently curled in the corner, its fur on end as it stared at him. He sighed and fell back against his pillows. The dream left a hollow feeling in him. No, that was wrong. The feeling had been there for a thousand years, like a jagged hole. The dream only picked at those edges, reminding him of its existence. Alexander got up a short time later, going to the fox and scooping it up. "Come Rasiel, it is time to open shop." He sighed, placing the fox about his shoulders.
((I figure I'll start after that little exchange with Evanna in which she presented the name 'Alexander' to her ^_^))╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Danny listened closely, watching the woman who sat across from her at the small table that was placed in the center of the tent. After each card was flipped and interpreted, Danny gazed at the card as the fortune teller told her what it meant. Every now and then, she would glance at Louis and he would be gazing at the cards just as intently as she was. Her expression remained blank and she was silent until the woman finished. When she grasped Danny's hands, Danny looked into her eyes, and the woman spoke sincerely. When she finished, Danny said, "Well, thank you very much, but I don't think I fully understand what you mean by 'fortunes don't always refer to the person for whom I'm reading them alone'." She looked over the cards again, then back to Louis, whose expression had turned sour again. "Danny, let's get out of here," he said, grabbing her arm. Danny turned back to the woman, and took the appropriate amount of money from her wallet in her purse and set it on the table. "Thank you again. Do you think there's any way that I could contact you? You know, to get a better explanation, or anything?" she said, but Louis had already began pulling her out of the small tent. Danny protested, but the woman was already out of her sight. She frowned. "Babe, what are you doing? That was actually interesting..." she said, yanking her arm from Louis grip. He just gave her a look, and she became quiet, looking away from him, silently yelling in her thoughts.
After another minute, she decided it was about time that her and Louis met up with her other friends. The sun was getting high in the sky, so she lifted her hand to block the bright light from her amber eyes.

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Evanna watched as the girl was practically dragged out of her tent. She looked up then, to where a pair of beady eyes watched the happenings below. "Did you catch all that, my love?" She asked, raising her hand. From the poles that gave the tent its shape, a crow the color of virgin snow spiraled down to land on her extended hand. She brought it to her cheek affectionately. "Skah, I need you to take a trip to our friend Alexander." She said, stroking the birds head. "I need you to tell him that I think I've found her at last!" She said, transferring the bird to her head with a flurry of wings as she pulled a pink hair from her sleeve with an attitude suggesting she knew it was there the entire time. "I will need to perform a few tests to confirm this, but he should be here for those as well." She said. She paused for a moment and snatched up a piece of paper and a charcoal paper. "First, go find her and give her this, then be on your way to Alexander's shop." She said, scrawling the words 'Quae mihi nota est satis, nunc de his alis invocare nix, quoniam adhuc rogare magis et plus adhuc desideramus scire. Mitto autem verba, ut ego quoque vocari.' She took the bird from her head and set him on the ground. "I think she would react better if you were in a more approachable form dear. Not many people can speak to you like this." She said. The bird nodded and shook it's feathers. As it did so, it began to stretch and grow. The feathers turned to hair, the bones changed form, until a young man stood before her. Like his crow form, he was still entirely white with eyes the color of midnight. Evanna gave him a set of clothes, which he threw on quickly. Evanna then handed him the paper. "Tell her to say them aloud over water once she gets home. That's the only way it will go through. Now go quickly, before you'll be unable to find her." She said, shooing him out the door. In the mean time, she began setting up what she needed for her tests. Skah began winding his way through the fair quickly, his movements a little jerky. Even in this form, he was still rather bird-like in his habits. When he spotted the girl, he cupped a hand around his mouth. "Mi-" He began, but his vocal cords were not quite used to yelling as a human. He grimaced and ran after her instead. ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Danny walked with Louis for another minute before she was able to get over her frustration for his actions. He did this every now and then, and his pushiness got to her a lot. Like she said before, he could be a little full of it sometimes. But looking past it was the key.
Her dress fluttered in the small gusts that swooshed through the fair every few minutes. The sun stayed high, and her hand stayed detached from Louis' hand. After a few minutes, she pulled out her phone and texted her friend, hoping to meet up with them soon. Where r u guys? It read, and she put it back in her purse after it sent. "Who were you texting?" Louis asked quietly, his eyes wandering back to Danny. "Amanda," she said, referring to one of her friends, agitation reaching her again. He always was so protective, wanting to know who she was with, or who she was texting. It got annoying. As they walked, Danny spotted an ice cream stand, and she smiled, and went to grab Louis' hand to pull him over to it, but stopped when someone shouted behind her. She turned, but no one in particular caught her eye, so she turned around and said, "Lou, let's go get some ice cream. Okay? I think we both need something sweet." she said, entwining her fingers with his.

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗In running after her, Skah ended up having to stop himself against the icecream stand or risk slamming into her instead. He looked down at himself with a scowl "Stupid, fat, gawky human legs." He panted quietly to himself. Flying was one thing, his pectoral muscles were extremely strong. Running was something else entirely and his human legs were heavy. He turned to actually face the girl then, flourishing the paper. "You wanted a way to contact Evanna, right?" He said, still panting slightly. Surprisingly, his voice wasn't harsh and grating in this form, but soft and rather quiet, if not a teeny bit raspy. "Read those words over water, Evanna says that's the only way it'll go through. Questions?" He said, trying to discretely rub a stitch out of his side. As he did so, he turned his unsettling gaze on the boy this girl was with. He smirked ever so slightly before looking back to the girl. Skah wasn't entirely fond of human beings in general, so he really held no sympathy for this kid who was eventually going to lose his girl to a Fae, or so he hoped. He'd been there as well the day Alexander had brought the bloody corpse to Evanna. Once again, he'd not particularly cared for the death of the girl, and had kind of hoped he'd get to help in the disposal of her considering he'd been hungry at the time, but seeing how broken Alexander had been, and how broken he'd remained over the decades when year after year there'd been no sign of the girl, had given him a little more compassion towards her at least, even without meeting her in person.╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Danny walked towards the ice cream stand, her hand with Louis'. He smiled, finally happy. That was a relief. Danny didn't think she could take any more sass today from him. Before she could reach the stand though, a boy ran in front of her, landing before them. She stepped back in surprise, and Louis gripped her hand a little tighter.
Danny was about to ask the boy if he was alright, but he managed to speak first. She looked down at the piece of paper he held, and took it lightly in her small hands. Her dark eyes scanned it, but didn't understand it at all. It seemed to be in a different language. Italian, maybe? Danny knew some Spanish, but no Italian.
When the boy asked her if she had any questions, they shot out of her so quickly, she had to take a breath before continuing. "Wait, who are you? What does this say? It's from Evanna? ... Why over water?-" She stopped, and decided to wait. Good things come to those who wait, right? This boy might not know all that she questioned him about. She looked up at the boy, who was as white as snow. Literally. "Please, I just need to know some answers," she said, her amber eyes pleading.
All this time, Louis had crossed his arms and had been looking the boy over. When he smirked, Louis' brows crossed and he huffed to himself, but remained quiet.

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗"My name is Skah, I'm a friend of Evanna's." Skah began. "As for what it says, ah..." He said, running a hand through his hair thoughtfully. "It says 'What I've learned is not enough, I now envoke these wings of snow, as I must ask even more, to tell me what I need to know. I know that once my message's through, I may now be summoned, too.' Or something to that nature, it's actually most likely much more eloquently worded." He said. "My Latin's a little rusty, I haven't had to use it since it went dead. As for why over water, it's a way of communicating that's better for Evanna than the telephone. She really doesn't trust technology that much." He said. He noticed the boys reaction to his smirk and it only made him do so wider. Oh, it was such fun to tease humans! "How about you, then fella?" He asked, speaking directly to the boy now while sending a wink the girl's way. "Ya seem a little squirrely." ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

An eyebrow raised, Danny looked at the paper once again. Seemed legitimate. 'What I've learned is not enough, I now envoke these wings of snow, as I must ask even more, to tell me what I need to know. I know that once my message's through, I may now be summoned, too.' It seemed elegant enough, though Skah said differently. Trying to figure out what it meant even after the translation was going to be difficult. What did this have to do with her? She turned back to Skah. "Well, it's very nice to meet you Skah, she told the boy with a smile and a sparkle in her eye, "I guess I'll figure out the rest by myself..." she trailed off, shrugging.
At Skah's comment and smirk, Louis huffed, and his face turned tomato red around his cheeks. But his eyes widened at the wink, and he simply sighed and said quietly, "I have nothing to say to you," his eyes now avoiding Skah's gaze. Danny giggled, her cheeks pink.

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗"It was quite a pleasure to meet you as well, dear." Skah said, taking her hand and kissing it. "And I have a feeling I will seeing you again very soon." He said, before looking back to the boy. "Nothing at all? Are you sure?" Skah asked, biting his lip lightly, his expression purely jovial. "Cause ya seem a little upset about something or another." Really, he should have been on his way after answering the girls questions, but he was just having too much fun. He rarely got to pick on humans as anything other than a mildly annoying bird. He could really, but he wasn't fond of his human form, and Evanna didn't like him running around in it anyway, as he stuck out too much. A white bird? Eh, whatever. A completely and utterly white boy? That was weird.╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
